This was very helpful. I'm in SC on a lot where the service entrance pole (my design) is about 60-70 feet from my lake lot mobile home. My service entrance pole will receive the service and I plan on burying the lines I need to the location of the home. I'm going to run 70 feet of conduit (2.5 inches) from pole to stub. This is about as similar as I've seen on YT.

@Camscrub yes all you need is to add a 30 amp breaker and camper style plug to the pole. You can come out of the bottom of the main service panel. Look up how to install a rv breaker box and it'll be pretty simple. I just installed one a few weeks ago.

Are you a licensed electrician? Just a couple of pointers , always add a couple of ft. to your estimated wire length, your wires in the interior panel were to short to dress up in the panel. It looked like they would block a breaker in the lowest slots You bond n/g at the service disconnect and then keep them seperate in panel. In a trailer you are required to have a ground from the panel to trailer frame. Your ground between ground rods should be in the ground not on top. You need bushings on the 2" connectors. On your riser the first strap should be within 3' of panel. The top strap within 3'' of weather head. The rigid coupling will come off ,no need to cut off. I hope you reamed the pipe after cutting it. As stated no teflon tape needed on pipe threads. This ruins your bond. You are required by code to actually torqu your wire connections 250"lbs on most panels. Usually an eye bolt is required at top of pole within 1ft of weather head. Did you pull a permit? Just because utility co. Hooked it up does not make it correct. They have no enforcement over any wiring on the load side of meter. If you are not a licensed electrician you are putting liabilty on yourself and the home owner if something happens. Just my 2 cents.

Don't be afraid to ask whatever questions you have though.

If you were to add a 30 amp braker under the main braker, do you add an additional grounding block bar for the neutral? In my box there is only a ground bar. The neutral is just the large cable going to a single block nut. Im sure I should not attach both neutral and ground to the same bar. Correct? I shoud add a bar and connect it to the large neutral cable??

You will most likely be required to have a separate meter for the mobile home and disconnect for that said mobile home, which disconnect will have to be placed within 30 feet of said mobile home. You will most likely need to upgrade the service to the property as they normally only install for what is needed at the time of install/upgrade

I’d say that fair for material plus man power. Honestly a one day job but I bet he was there 2. So…not much (money for labor/install) left over, after mileage, fuel, tools used (already had), and TAXES (haha). As someone mentioned earlier…cost would be anywhere from $1k-$2k from anyone “good”, plus parts. I think $2-2.5k for everything (parts/labor) is cheap 🤷.
